The recent news story about two middle school students who put hand sanitizer in their teacher’s tea to poison her is just reprehensible.
These two boys should be expelled from school and should be given a good old fashioned paddling on their backsides for what they did-they will never do it again after that well-deserved punishment. What could possess these boys to do such a terrible and potentially fatal thing?
It seems that teachers have no respect given to them and they are such hard-working, dedicated professionals who always go the extra mile to help motivate their students to work to their full potential.
Those boys need help as well as punishment for what they did. Their parents need to seek that help for them immediately. Hopefully, that teacher will recover from her experience and not let it deter her from continuing to teach and help her students.
